It is also important because you help the society that always helped you (i.e. at school etc.) So you can pay back to the society. total votes on YES: 1 NO -it is too expensive, the money that is being spent on military service could be used better -the people that have to do military service sometimes don´t have a good attitude towards what they are doing in the army -18 years is too young to learn how to kill or how to fire a weapon -a professional army is enough to defend our country in a case of war -it keeps young people away from studies or work which is more important for them than the army -nobody should be forced to join the army -it contradicts righty like the right to free collective bargaining or even basic rights, e.g. the freedom of choosing where you want to live total votes on NO:8 NO OPINION Platon Youth Forum 2009 4/29 no votes on no opinion Links: http://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/deutschland/Wehrpflicht;art122,2590930 http://www.diw.de/deutsch/wb_4/04_berufsarmee_statt_wehrpflicht_eine_oekonomisch_sinn volle_loesung/31148.html http://www.bpb.de/wissen/Q01ETK,1,0,Das_Grundgesetz_f%FCr_die_Bundesrepublik_Deut schland.html#art1 http://www.wen-waehlen.de/kandidaten/begruendung_51.html Professional army: yes or no? (1) (27.7.09) Yes: 1. The professional army doesn’t cost the state as much as the people who have to do military service. And so people can decide what they want to do and aren’t forced to join the army 2. I think that professional army is good for EU because we must have some soldiers to protect us from terrorist attacks and war 3. I agree with the idea of a professional army because you have the right to choose what you want to do. 4. Yes, but just to help regions that have huge problems 5. This way people who really want to learn how to kill others and are not afraid to die can take their passion as a job and earn money with it. Still it doesn’t cost the state as much as the military service does. 6. It is good to build up a professional army, because maybe this is what you really want to do with your life 7. Having a professional army is good and useful for countries because in case of war or serious international military issues they can act very fast and proper, regarding the fact that they are well trained 8. The professional army is better equipped, trained and experienced for a modern war i.e. against terrorism No: 1.To a professional army people come for the wrong reason to often. Money or because the army is the only one that offers you a job shouldn’t be the motivation to join the army. Professional army (2) Should the state have only a professional army? YES 1)Yes but just if every citizen has to do social service 2)It`s a normal job,people can decide wheather they want to go or not. The need of professional soldiers

  • Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War
    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

The blockade has received modest attention in the historiography of the First World War, despite the assertion in the British official history that extreme privation and hunger resulted in more than 750,000 German civilian deaths.

  • The Conscription Debate Lesson Plan
    The Conscription Debate Lesson Plan Description: In this lesson, students learn about the conscription debate in Canada in 1917. Students are organized into three groups (anti-conscription farmers, anti- conscription French Canadians, and pro-conscription English Canadians), and conduct research on the argument for or against conscription made by their assigned group. Students then participate in a debate on the topic. Recommended Grade Range All provinces and territories except Quebec: Grades 10 to12 Quebec: Secondary 4 and 5 Prerequisites: This lesson should follow previous discussions and lessons on the First World War. Objectives: • Students learn why Prime Minister Borden introduced the Military Service Act in 1917, enacting conscription by law; • Students learn why many farmers and French Canadians opposed conscription; • Students work in groups assigned to represent farmers, French Canadians, and English Canadians, and conduct research for a debate on conscription; • Student groups organize their research results in a table; • Students conduct a debate on the issue of conscription using their research. Estimated Time: 3-4 class periods Materials Required: • Overhead transparencies of First World War recruitment posters printed from the resources section, or copies of these posters to hand out to students, downloaded from resources sections; • Projector (if not using copies); • Internet/computer lab access for 1-2 class periods; • Copies of the Conscription Debate Worksheet. Lesson: Warm-up • Project or hand out images of recruitment posters • Ask students to discuss the posters, prompting them to consider issues related to joining the military. What reasons might people have for volunteering to go to war? What reasons do the posters suggest? Are the posters effective in convincing the The Conscription Debate Lesson Plan viewer? What reasons might people have for not volunteering to go to war? • Remind students to keep in mind the social context of Canada during the First World War.

Kieda, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT Throughout the course of World War I, the Irish regiments that fought on the front lines were staffed only with volunteers. Though Britain had extended conscription within the United Kingdom and to its other colonies, Ireland was exempt from drafting soldiers for the war effort. Though the idea of conscripting the Irish had been discussed on multiple occasions within the House of Commons, the motion was always rejected due to the volatile relationship between the two countries. Besides, nearly 200,000 Irishmen volunteered throughout the course of the war. By 1918, things had changed dramatically. The British and Allied forces had lost ground to the advancing Germans, heavy casualties were sustained on both sides, and the British were finding it increasingly difficult to find manpower.

  • Vol.1, 2001 Australian Journal of Irish Studies
    This paper will firstly examine the career of Senator Patrick Joseph Lynch (1867­ an Irish-born Catholic pro-conscriptionist Labor senator, who, with W.M. Hughes and other dissidents, was expelled from the Labor Party in 1917. He originally struck me as something of a paradox, a maverick, an enigma. However, career and role in the conscription controversy is interesting and significant in itself.' Secondly, the paper will reflect upon some of the wider implications for an understanding of the role of Irish Catholics in the Labor Party, and in the conscription controversy and Australian politics generally in the early part of the twentieth century. Also considered is how the Western Australian experience of Irish Catholic political involvement differed from that in other states. Patrick Joseph Lynch was born in Ireland in 1867, the youngest of eight children, in a moderately well-off family which had farmed their land for generations. His home place was in the parish of Moynalty in Co. Meath, about ten miles north-west of the town of Kells, which is about forty miles north-west of Dublin. He grew up in a fairly close-knit rural community at the Newcastle end of Moynalty parish. Young Paddy attended a couple of the local national schools before, at the age of fifteen, spending two years at the Bailieboro Model School in Co. Cavan, a kind of non-denominational finishing school for bright young pupils who might have notions of going on to teach. It is said that young Paddy travelled the nine miles to Bailieboro each day by donkey.' Whatever notions young Paddy may have entertained about teaching, he did not or could not pursue them.
